Early the next morning, Xiahou Xu reported that Sima Yi and his son were seriously injured due to the attack of bandits, and the blind date could only be suspended and returned to the city to heal first.

Cao Miao was surprised, she only heard that Sima Shi was injured, why was Sima Yi also injured?

Xiahou Xu couldn't say clearly. Sima Yi was told so by people, and he didn't see Sima Yi himself. Early in the morning, before dawn, Sima Yi's family left, leaving only Xiahou Hui - she was going back with a few other Sima women.

This result is somewhat surprising, but if you think about it, it makes sense.

Marriage is just a means for Sima Yi to cultivate obscurity, and now that their father and son are seriously injured, it is impossible to return to the battlefield in a short time, and the threat to the imperial court is greatly reduced, so naturally there is no need to use such a means as marrying him.

While eating breakfast, Cao Miao carefully figured out Sima Yi's intentions, and the more she thought about it, the more she admired Sima Yi's ruthlessness and shamelessness, and of course, she became more and more determined to get rid of this old thief. It's just that it's not so urgent right now.

He now has bigger opponents to tackle.

"This villa is not peaceful." Cao Miao sighed and scratched her head. "Bo Yuan, you want to find a way to raise some money. We've got to recruit some people to make the lodge safer. These bandits are so bold that even the captain dares to attack, and it is not easy to kill me. ”

Xiahou Xu disagreed. "Who's going to kill you? Des? ”

"It's hard to say. Don't forget, I'm also a man with a blood debt. ”

Xiahou Xu was stunned, and then remembered that Cao Miao had killed Wang Ji and had a feud with the Taiyuan Wang family. The fact that the Taiyuan royal family has not acted now does not mean that there will be no action in the future. Or on the contrary, the longer they endure, the more ruthless and unsparing they will be in revenge.

"Okay, I'll go back to the city after breakfast."

"Is Yuanrong gone?"

"It's gone." Xiahou Xu secretly glanced at Cao Miao. Cao Miao had an illness last night, but now he couldn't see that he was sick at all, which made him wonder if he had seen or heard it wrong. Or Cao Miao didn't actually get sick, just an excuse. "Sima Shi was injured, she was very anxious, and she used the morning food and left."

"Look at this......" Cao Miao smacked her lips, very guilty. After returning to the city, you can go to the Taiwei Mansion to pay a visit. Anyway, after all, it happened in the villa, and as the host, I should go to condole. I'm not in good health, you can do it for you. Don't be reluctant to spend money, bring some good herbs. ”

Xiahou Xu rolled his eyes, slandering in his heart. You talk beautifully, but you pay for it. As soon as the upper lip touches the lower lip, generosity is that no one is more generous than you, but you don't give a penny, let me figure it out.

Seeing that Xiahou Xu's expression was wrong, Cao Miao asked with concern: "Boyuan, do you have something to say?" ”

"Ah, no."

——

After breakfast, Xiahou Xu left.

Cao Miao took Ah Hu and others out of the villa and came to the river valley to investigate the battlefield.

Hearing is false, but hearing is believing. Sometimes even what you see may not be true, and you have to deduce it repeatedly, removing the false and retaining the truth, so that it is possible to get close to the truth.

Cao Miao knew who she was up against. He will not easily accept Sima Yi's arguments, and only the conclusions he has drawn can be trusted.

After spending nearly a day walking within 500 meters of the battlefield, and comparing it with what I saw last night, I reproduced in my mind the course of the battle between the two sides.

Judging from the overall situation, Cao Su did not make obvious mistakes, and of course he was not clever. The two wings feint, the middle line broke through, and the rules were decent.

Sima Yi is not wrong, even more sophisticated than Cao Su. Taking advantage of the advantages brought by defense, the terrain was selected early, and the troops were concentrated on the middle line for intensive defense, and the bow and crossbow were used to kill.

Judging from the blood stains left on the ground, the casualties occurred outside the fighting between the two sides. In other words, the casualties were all Cao Su's people, Cao Su suffered a big loss, and Sima Yi didn't even hurt his hair.

If it weren't for Cao Su's forcible breakthrough by personal force and severely damaged Sima Shi, this battle would have been Sima Yi's complete abuse of Cao Su.

Cao Miao found the location of Sima Yi's injury, but he didn't understand how Sima Yi was injured. Sima Yi was in the middle of the battlefield, with his back to the river, far from the place of engagement. If he is wounded, there is a high probability that he will be wounded by a crossbow shot. However, he was protected by a shield-wielding armorer, and the possibility of being wounded by a crossbow shot was close to none. Within ten steps of Sima Yi's side, there were not many traces left by arrows.

Cao Miao suspected that Cao Su had arranged for someone to dive close to Sima Yi and launch a surprise attack, but he found no evidence.

All in all, there are many doubts in this battle, and the biggest one is Sima Yi's injury. Cao Miao is seventy percent sure that Sima Yi is cheating, he just wants to play a bitter trick and play himself as the one who was insulted and hurt.

At dinner, Cao Su came. The dragon walked with a proud face that could not be concealed. As soon as he saw Cao Miao, he grinned and said with a happy smile: "Yunliang, that trick of the Tiger Sect is so good, it is really a tiger descending the mountain, and it is unstoppable." While talking, he gestured and danced with his hands.

Cao Miao interrupted Cao Su with disdain. Cao Su has been practicing with Ah Hu for a long time, but what he learned is all fur, more about adapting to the enemy, counterattacking quickly, and not learning real techniques. This trick is just a cat and a tiger, and it is in vain. It's just that he has a lot of strength, and after mastering the basic power method, his strength is proficient and more fierce, and it is difficult for ordinary people to withstand his blow.

One force will drop ten. The innate advantage is here, unless you encounter an evenly matched opponent like Ah Hu, ordinary people can't stop Cao Su at all.

"I heard that you not only injured Sima Shi, but also injured Sima Yi?"

Cao Su was stunned. "Who said that? The old thief was hiding behind, I couldn't even see him, how could I hurt him? ”

Cao Miao was not surprised at all. "You didn't arrange for someone to dive over and attack him?"

Cao Su blinked and slapped his forehead. "It's a pity. I didn't think about it at the time, so I thought about besieging it on three sides and squeezing the old thief into the river and drowning him. I never thought that this old thief was cunning enough, and he couldn't attack it, but he injured more than a dozen people. But I'm not at a loss, I injured Sima Shi, listening to him scream so badly, I should have been injured a lot. Yunliang, have you seen his injuries? Is it heavy or not? ”

"Yes." Cao Miao nodded. "If nothing else, Sima Shi will inherit the will of his ancestors and become the Taishi Gong."

Cao Su was stunned for a while, and then he realized who Taishi Gong was, and he couldn't help laughing, becoming more and more proud. He only knew that he had injured Sima Shi, but he didn't know that Sima Shi was so badly injured. When he thought that Sima Yi's eldest son was beaten into a eunuch by himself, he was particularly relieved.

Sima Shi just had a daughter, but he didn't have a son yet. If you really become a eunuch, you will be considered a finalist.

"Alas, you just said that Sima Yi was injured, is it really fake?"

"I don't know if it's true or not." Cao Miao smiled and said, "You can go and have a look." ”

"Me?" Cao Su's eyes widened. "Yunliang, I'll help you, why are you still cheating me?"

Cao Miao coughed and said, "First of all, you are taking revenge for personal revenge, and it has nothing to do with me." When I asked you for help, you didn't say yes. Yesterday you came, and I asked Bo Yuan to drive you away, but you didn't listen. Secondly, this is really not to pit you, but to help you. ”
